Soft shell taco with beef filling and salsa - approx. $9.50

Delicious!

Hello people of the internet,

On Monday me and some on me friends headed down to the newly renovated Kawana Shopping Centre where a Guzman Y Gomez has opened up. I ordered a soft shell with beef filling and salsa & it was so yummy! Originally after seeing it I was worried I'd be hungry but it was so filling & fresh. We had some of the best mexican we'd all had in years. 

Yogurtland inside = Heaven

My friend Brittany's Yoghurt

Usually I wouldn't say no to fro-yo but I was so full from lunch (I ate a little from each of my friends...).

Bronze Have More Fun! - Winter Makeup Buys & Thoughts

Hello there!

It’s been pretty cold and horrible on the Sunshine coast for the last week and with my skin looking an awkward shade of purple I decided I needed to look a little more bronzed. I was gifted by my lovely friend Phoebe the Sugar Baby 'Bronze Have More Fun' - cosmetic palette for eyes & lips. The shades of eye shadows go from a really nice light off white to a dark kind of off browny grey colour. Perfect for a subtle smoky eye or a really nice tanned look. The Palette also includes 6 bright lip colours that I think are perfect for winter. I hate seeing greys & monochrome colours all the time through winter – sometimes a pop of colour is just what you need.

Also gifted by the wonderful Phoebe was the Sugar Baby 'Drive Me Balmy' Island Body Balm. This stuff is amazing! If this was person I would elope to Vegas with it! This beautiful whipped body balm has a combination of citrus fragrances such as Grapefruit, Star fruit, Cassis Leaves, Passion flower, Papaya Blossom & Shea Butter, Apricot and coconut oils. How can one thing be so perfect! It smell like unicorn fur - no joke.

I picked up the Glow With It marble bronzer from Sportsgirl for $12.95. Being Extremely pale (I buy my foundation in the lightest shade they have) I was worried that it would be a little to much & I’d look like an iced birthday cake- much to my surprise it was great! I went for the marble because the original Sportsgirl one looked very harsh where as this one worked so well!!! It’s nice not to look purple extremely pale in winter, instead to have a little glow on the face & chest.

A bright pop of colour on the lips always seems to brighten my day! - Especially in winter.
If you're wanting to continue with the bronzed goddess theme the Burt's Bee's Lip Shimmer in the shade Caramel is for you! When on the lips it tastes like spearmint & feels cool & refreshing. With a rough texture it felt as though my lips were being exfoliated while I was wearing it - now my lips are nice & soft!

I bought the Sportsgirl lipstick in Tropo 3336 which is a very bright orangey pink colour. The Rimmel ColourStay lipstick in Ultimate Suede is a less orange version of Tropo - also with a little added shimmer. When wearing any colour stay lip product I always wear a balm (Chapstick - Original) over the top other wise I'm left with dry cracked lips. Both lipsticks just bring a loud pop of colour to any day!

I have a scary obsession with Rimmel products so when I purchase the Apocalips Lip Lacquers how could I not go past this shade. 303 Apocaliptic is to die for. It's long lasting & when eating food you don't get the weird line around your lips from the product wearing off. It stains them and is very hard to get off but while wearing this out everyone will notice.

That's all from me for now. If you wanna stalk me you can follow me on Instagram @rileyjxo, I will follow back if you mention in a comment that you’ve read this blog post. 

Be kind to one another.

Day Trip - Moffat Beach Australia

Oh Hey There!

The time has rolled around once again where I have my winter school holidays & what a better way then spending it with my amazing friends! On Thursday this week 8 of us headed down to Moffat Beach on the Sunshine Coast of QLD for a coffee & catch up.

Being locals we know where to get the best coffee along the café & shop strip. My friends & family currently can’t decide whether it’s Blackwater Trading co. (1) or Sunny’s at Moffat’s (2). We decided on this particular day we’d hit up Blackwater Trading co. I ordered my usual ‘a cup of skinny flat white, no sugar’. My ‘cup’ was just the perfect size I would have been bouncing off the walls if I’d ordered the mug - I decided after seeing my friend’s drinks. The table service is always great! We had a lovely lady who could pull off a really cute purple pixie hair cut. Also the fresh cut flowers were a lovely.

My beautiful Coffee.

Afterwards we grabbed some chips & calamari from The Fish Bowl (3). To tell you the truth the only people who would ever buy fish & chips from there are tourists and teenagers- the locals don’t eat there, if you click the link you'll understand why. My friends & myself being teenagers will eat their cause it’s cheap + we’ll eat anything covered in gravy. We take the soggy chips & calamari down to the beach & eat either sitting on the rock retaining wall or at a free seagull poo covered bench – In the latter case I usually opt for the clean green grassy ground.

After eating our body weight in deep fried food & gravy we walked along the rock pools (4 - along the beach about 100m) near the headland. You can see the surfers in the water & the little creatures scuttling in the pools. After one to many wet items of clothing from rough waves or misplaced footing, returning to the beach with a sore ass is probably the safest and less painful option. 

After 30 minutes of trying to teach my how to blow a chewing gum bubble my friends gave up & just as they started to walk away... then I did it! Yay!

I can now inform you I am proficient in the art of splattering gum all over ones face.

I hope you enjoyed getting an insight into my local area & day, if you would like to read maybe something similar about other day trips or places on the Sunshine coast let me know in the comments.
